The fireplace is situated next to the well-stocked wine cellar. Venue's bar is a great place to dine, watch your favorite team play on the multiple TVs over the bar and bask in the shadows of their 30' natural rock wall.

Have been coming to Venues for years, it's our favorite restaurant in Carefree/Cave Creek. They have the best HH & the dinner menu is amazing. My favorite is the meatloaf but everything is delicious.
The staff is always cheerful, Happy, so wonderful. We especially love Bronco but all the staff is great.

We got takeout desserts, which were quick. The expert baker in our family said the Triple berry pie was superb with both an excellent crust and filling. The churros filled with apples were great. The chocolate decadence cake was also dark chocolate delight. Outstanding desserts!!
We then went back for lunch and everything was excellent. Great burgers turkey burgers and salads.

Me and my wife enjoyed on of the best meals ever! She got the palate pleaser salad . The flavors were phenomenal and the grilled chicken perfectly cooked. I had the tuna melt with awesome hand-cut fries. The tuna salad was so good and grilled to perfection. Eric our server was attentive and personable. Btw the Bloody Mary, epic

We had a very good lunch here today on the outdoor patio at Venues. Everything was a little slow, but I think all restaurants are suffering from lack of staff, so I don't let it bother me. Our meals were very tasty and their prices are fair, including for a glass of good wine. Our server was friendly and efficient, and he apologized for the longer than normal time to be served. I'm probably the only person who cares about this, but I like that their music was very unobtrusive. (I hate loud music when I want a peaceful meal.) I can recommend this restaurant. We will be going back soon.

Went to downtown carefree for the art festival and popped into this great little restaurant for a quick bite. We had the spicy meatloaf sandwich and the chard garlic honey wings and they both were great! Sat at the bar and had very good, personal service

Wonderful experience! Went for my birthday lunch. Nice, casual atmosphere. Beautiful view of the desert garden across the street. Erick provided outstanding service. The food is GREAT! Sweet Heat Burger is a MUST try. Lemon Meringue Pie given for my birthday was excellent and made the experience extra special.

Maybe not what you might expect for a place located in Sundial on Easy Street. I expect a tourist spot, and this is a locals favorite. They know you here. Mix between a sports bar and a nice dinner restaurant. Terrific service. Good Happy Hour. Really cool huge stone wall. And essentially two bars where you can have a small group facing each other, or the long bar with less intimacy. Good food, casual. Parking in Sundial can be rough. And very important - from outside this place always looks like it is closed - they need to work on that. So don't be fooled, give the door a try.

Venus Cafe is a clean, cool, hip restaurant.
Service - is very good and attentive.
Food - tasty and well presented. Presentation is important to allow eyes to see colors and taste the food.
Tuna Tartar is made with colorful red thick chunks of tuna, perfectly ripe light green avocados, special sauce, crunchy chips. A rainbow of flavors in the mouth.
Nachos with Carne Asada, perfectly gooey cheese, tomator chunks, chives, crunch in all chips. Every bite is yummy.
Pinot Grigio wine and ice water to wash the meal down - just delicious.
All in all, homey feeling with awesomeness.
We loved our

Such a great vibe here! Fun art and chill jazz playing so no TV noise but on over the bar. Varied menu with higher end comfort food and bangin happy hour. Vegetarians: they have lots impossible options!
Actually after being here we’ve decided to keep this as our “best kept secret” so read the rating as a ⭐️. 😬
